What risk management mistakes did Victor Niederhoffer make to blow up a few times?

  1. Ok-- any of the SLAyers or Hersheyites. Read how they say they trade-- its clear that earning 3x the daily range or whatever is pure fantasy.

    there are multiple similar examples from a variety of unprofitable dreamers.

    Was that so tough. Thank you. I agree with you that people who claim to make 3x the daily range are on a day to day basis are full of shit. . Right now that would be like 66 handles in the ES.

    But you imply anyone who takes the other side of your arguments ether is a wannabe or doesn't make money trading. Kind of ridiculous.

  3. Not at all. The market works by people taking the other side.

    You misinterpret me.

    Surf you call people on here who disagree with you strugglers and strivers. There is no misinterpretation. You can't just leave it at people who disagree with you as people who disagree with you. When you go this route you come off as an arrogant prick. That's why people tend to "attack" you on here. Anyways....enough goin back and forth.

    Someone once told me: why are people so difficult to me?
    I answered: if all people are difficult, the reality is probably that you are difficult, not all the others.

    Same problem with arrogant people. They see every fault from others and are convinced that they are perfect in behaviour and also in wisdom.

    Basically you call anybody who disagrees with you broke losers who are jealous. You call people on here failed traders all the time. That is the behavior of a prick. You want examples ? There are 100's on here. You may be a great guy outside of here, but this "persona" you created on here is a real douchebag at times.
